Greatest arm chair flight simulator ever!

Words cannot do justice for this incredible magic carpet ride. You have to truly experience the thrill of flying through the streets of SF to understand how cool this app truly is. The handling is silky smooth, sort of like a Cessna, except you can't stall. It's all about the scenery. If you like X-Plane or MS Flight Simulator, wait till you try this for touring the planet.

Be aware that the ONLY locations available are the ones that come with the app. I can find no way to add custom locations. The "online" option causes the app to crash. To me the price is a little steep for the limited set of locations.

The thing Flype had going for it was the flying but at any speed above a crawl the image was slightly jerky rendering Flype useless in my opinion. Don't waste your money. Use Google Earth.
